Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The mortgage was so drawn as to specify the amount of indebtedness to each creditor specifically, and the plaintiff was by its terms made trustee for the collection and payment of the amount owing to each. There is no legal objection to such a mortgage (Adams v. Niemann, 46 Mich. 137 ); and we think each mortgagee could enforce his own claim under the mortgage, his separate debt being clearly stated. Herm. Chat. Mort. 357; Burnett v. Pratt, 22 Pick. 556; Gilson v. Gilson, 2 Allen, 115.””
